2 NEW SPRAY PAINT LINES

2011-12-07T12:31:00.001-06:00

We are very excited to announce that we will be carrying 2 lines of spray paint by the famous Montana Colors for the first time!

We will be carrying the Montana Hardcore & the Alien Art Concept cans. Come check them out!

Montana Hardcore (from their website):

Introduced in 1995, the Hardcore line was available one year after the launch of Montana Colors S.L. in Barcelona. Through the years, this synthetic glossy formula has been the staple of boutique spray paint.

Unlike other spray cans, Hardcore was the end result of years of artist feedback. Utilizing what the masses want, Montana Colors crafted a premier spray paint line that is both cost effective and surpasses the industry standard of what makes a great spray paint.

More info on the Hardcore line here.

Alien Art Concept:

To date, Alien is by far the single most precise can on the market. Designed for artists who want exceptional control, Montana Colors delivers a small, light weight can that provides great nimblness. This is extremely beneficial for artists looking to hold cans for extended periods of time.

Ease of use, powerful control, and a slew of interesting colors, Alien supports the need for artistic dexterity.Alien features a highly sensitive, low pressure, female valve with a high pigment concentration and a satin finish.

More info on the Alien line here.

Brittany & Lauren setting up the cages for the new lines. (With Montana Gold in the background - MTN Colors is not to be confused with Montana Gold cans, which is a different company & a line that we will continue to carry!)

Artist Trading Cards at Jerry's!

2011-06-09T15:27:00.003-05:00

A little history and an explanation:

Artist Trading Cards grew out of the Mail Art movement of the '60s. Their beginning is credited to the Swiss artist M. Vänci Stirnemann in the mid 1990s, when he started creating and trading cards roughly the size of a baseball card with friends and other artists. The movement caught on and has become something of a global phenomenon.

There are a few rules to it - Any medium can be used (collage, pencil, paint, pens, fabric, etc.) and the card must measure roughly 2.5 x 3.5 inches. They have to be traded - not sold! And the ATC must be signed and dated on the back. That's all there is to it!

The Trading Center at Jerry's

To get started, come on in and check out the Trading Center and the other cards that people have posted. Throughout the month we will be posting our favorites here & on our Facebook page. And feel free to scan your own and post them to our page!

For more info & lots of great ATC stuff to come, keep checking back here, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter!

2011 Austin Middle School 8x10 Art Show & Competition

2011-03-03T11:44:00.000-06:00

2011 Austin Middle School 8x10

Art Show & Competition!

Jerry's Artarama, The Artist's Supplier and Resource, located at 6010 N IH-35, Exit 238A, announces the 2011 Austin Middle School 8x10 Arts Show & Competition!

The Austin area's 6th, 7th and 8th grade art students are cordially invited to participate in a show and competition of their work in the following categories: (i) painting, (ii) drawing, (iii) printmaking, (iv) sculpture and (v) mixed media. The work will be judged by area gallery directors, professional artists, and museum curators.

Prizes will be awarded at a reception and awards ceremony – a pizza party for students, friends and families. The reception and awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, May 8th, from 3-5 pm, at Jerry's, and the artwork will be on display until May 21st.

ALL work must be done in the 8" x 10" (including mats) format (i.e.: 8x10 canvases, Bristol board, sculpture, etc) and be able to be displayed standing on ledge molding or from a nail. Jerry's has 8x10 canvases available for participants. No frames or glass, please.

The idea for the show's format was borrowed from Austin's The Arthouse at the Jones Center 5x7 Show, held every year in May for Texas professional artists. Unlike the charity Arthouse event, the work of our students can be for sale and all proceeds will go to the young artist (the work DOES NOT have to be for sale). We hope this will be the continuation of an Austin Art tradition (this is the 4th year for this event), and plans are for there to be media coverage!

This is a fantastic opportunity to expose your students to the art of their peers, competition with prizes, and having their work appear in a public venue.

Teachers can enter more than one piece of work for a student, but no more than 50 entries from any one school. Submissions should be dropped off at Jerry's.

There is no fee for this competition,
and the deadline for submission is
6 p.m. on Friday, April 29th

Teachers are asked to help place their student's work that day and PLEASE have it labeled on the back with:

Student's Name, Grade, and Age
Medium, Title, and Sale Price or NFS (not for sale)
Name of School
Teacher's Name, Contact Phone Number, and e-mail

Teachers must pick up their students' work by Sunday, May 22th.

We hope you will take advantage of this amazing opportunity to recognize Austin's young artists and your school's art program. Contact us now to register your school! Please let us know ASAP if you will be a part of this great event (please email to both addresses)!

Thank you,

Your Co-coordinator: Catherine Hart

The cheapest prices on art supplies. Guaranteed.

2010-12-17T14:03:00.003-06:00

In 2010, we (Jerry's Artarama) changed all of our prices so that they were the lowest in the country. We knew about the change, but we wanted to find a way to show our current customers and potential future customers that it's true, that it's not just a tagline. And we wanted to do it in a way that was as straightforward as possible and didn't allow for any tricks or cleverness.

So last week, we walked through Jerry's and picked 8 of our most popular items and rung them up.

We visited Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Asel Art and the UT Co-op Art Store and bought the same items from each store (the only exception was Asel did not carry the Galeria acrylic, so we only bought 7 items from them). This is what we ended up with:

(You can click here or on the image to see a larger, higher-resolution version.)

We think the difference is clear and actually pretty surprising - our shopping trip at Jerry's cost HALF of what we spent at Michaels for the EXACT SAME supplies. Even despite sales and discounts, Jerry's was still notably less expensive than all four stores.

The items we bought were:

Prismacolor Art Marker

Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencil

Winsor & Newton Art Masking Fluid

Strathmore Sketch Pad (9"x12")

Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic (Titanium White, 200ml)

Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic (Titanium White, 2oz.)

Winsor & Newton Winton Oil Color (Titanium White, 2oz.)

Faber-Castell PITT Pen 4 pack

We hope that next time you're hunting down art supplies in Austin, you'll think of us. We know art supplies can get expensive and that "starving artist" isn't always just a cliché, so we are doing what we can to keep our prices reasonable and affordable and to keep the creativity that Austin is known for flowing. Keep creating!

Holiday Hours

DECEMBER 25 - Closed! - We will be closed on the 25th, but we will be open with regular hours on New Years Eve and New Years Day.

Thanks!

Happy Holidays from Elf Jerry & everyone at Jerry's Austin!

2010-12-16T10:34:00.006-06:00

We liked the 3D signs that artist Scott Eastwood made for us so much, that we asked him back to make a special holiday end-cap for us. And of course, it turned out really awesome.

He created it using recycled cardboard and foamcore (for the structures & letters) and Lukas CRYL acrylics and Montana Gold spray paints. Come by the store to check it out!

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Also, don't forget that we have a huge sale going on right now!
Love,
Jerry's Austin

JEREMY MAYER

2010-09-28T13:56:00.002-05:00

Artist Jeremy Mayer (Oakland, CA) made this deer out of recycled typewriter parts. I know Austin is kind of a mecca for recycled & found object art, but I'm not sure that I've seen anything this stunning here (although my neighbor's front yard is a good effort).

Also, he says that he doesn't "solder, weld, or glue these assemblages together- the process is entirely cold assembly," which to me makes it all the more impressive. Has anyone seen anything like this in Austin?

Please join us at the store this Saturday, Sept. 11th from 1:30 - 4pm for a special Figure Drawing demonstration lead by David Tenorio of the Cordovan Art School.

Figure drawing is one of the best "hands on" demos offered for those wishing to improve their drawing skills. Working from a live model, we will warm up with gesture drawings and then concentrate on a long pose. Let our award-winning artists help you see and understand the "rules" for drawing the human figure. The models will be clothed.

The demo is free, but we have a limited number of seats (only 15 - but overflow is welcome to stand by and watch), so make sure you register soon!

Sign up now by emailing rose@cordovanartschool.com.

BARRY MCGEE

2010-07-30T11:44:00.004-05:00

While we're on a color theme, you should watch this slick little introduction to Californian artist Barry McGee, produced by the Oakland Museum of California.

I love the juxtaposition of the Thomas Hill painting and his installation, as well as getting a chance to see Mr. McGee put his work together.
